On a perfect summer day at Vespra Hills Golf Club, Judith Kyrinis (Granite Golf Club) captured her fifth Ontario Senior Women’s Championship title. Kyrinis joins elite company as a five-time winner of this championship.
Kyrinis stayed on top of the Championship Flight leaderboard from start to finish thanks to three fantastic rounds, which saw her make clutch putts at the right times. Kyrinis shot a 73 in the final round to clinch the victory, finishing three strokes ahead of both Terrill Samuel (Weston Golf & Country Club) and Mary Ann Hayward (St. Thomas Golf & Country Club).
Despite a close second place finish, both Samuel and Hayward ended up going to a sudden death playoff hole to determine the winner of the 60 & Above division. In the end, Samuel defeated Hayward by one shot and will be going home with some hardware after all.
Congratulations to other winners of the day, which include Lorraine Elijah (Echo Valley Golf Club), who won the A Flight Gross division after shooting a 76 in the final round. Elijah finished a convincing eight strokes up on Susan Bell (Summit Golf & Country Club). Elijah also won the A Flight Net division by one stroke on Vespra Hills’ own Ann Sullivan. Shelly Gianetto (Midland Golf & Country Club) finished as the winner of the 70 & Above division by one stroke ahead of Virginia L. Marshall (Westmont Golf & Country Club) and two strokes ahead of Roma Harris (Seaforth Golf Course).

With sunny skies and pristine fairways, the 2023 Indigenous Ontario Championship concluded today at Monthill G&CC. After 54 holes it was ultimately Ky Horn (Mowhawks of Kahnawake) who captured the men’s overall championship and Skyesong Alexis (Alexis Nakoda Sioux Nation) demonstrated resilience and determination as she won the women’s overall division.
The entire event turned out to be a memorable experience for everyone involved. From rain delays to mid tournament ceremonies, the 2nd annual Indigenous Ontario Championship featured over 41 first nations groups from across the country as well as participants from the USA.
Ky Horn (Mowhawks of Kahnawake) showed off some spectacular golf through the 3 day bout. He shot a great 218 and on the final day was able to secure the win shooting 75. In second was Ian Ford (Lac Seul First Nations) who ended his final day shooting 77.
Women’s winner Skyesong Alexis (Alexis Nakoda Sioux Nation) ended the tournament shooting a total of 229. Last year’s champion Cheryl Mitchell (Walpole Island First Nation) was still able to secure her spot on the podium as she ended up in second place shooting 236.
Huge thanks to the DreamCatcher Charitable Foundation for teaming up with Monthill Golf Club to raise awareness. As a collective they were able to raise twenty-two thousand dollars for the foundation.
